DR.. Parkers Home Life

DR.. Parker is one of the most delight
full men, with all gifted mans power to
entertain and interest one, and as hos
tess Mrs. Parker is the typical English
woman of the refined and intelligent high
class, who never seem so charming as
when dispensing a gracious hospitality
in their own homes. Mrs. Parker is as
ccemplished as she is intellectual, and
has one of the prettiesi, well cult waited
soprano voices one could wish to listen
to in a drawing room. She has been
well taught having studied with Randeg-
ger for some time, and not only enter
tains her guests with delightful ballad
music after dinner, but has for some time
held the position of leading singer in the
choir of her husbands church. In man
ner she is engaging, frank and cordial,
with pleasant smile frequently lighting
up her face. Sac is tall, robust, but not
stout, with lightish brown hair, that she
wears cooled in many braids about a
shapely head that is set very well On her
shoulders. Her eyes are blue, and very
white even teeth disclose themselves back
of the somewhat large but characteristic
mouth. DR.. Parker is in appearance
almost the opposite OF his wife. He is
not tai, and yet reaches above the tall
figure of his wife, mis- frame is broad and
compact, and has stur6iness that makes
him resemble an English coun try squire.

With lantern ahlaze, and revolver cock
ed hutchinson went inward, his friend
s1anolng guard outside. He followed the
mole for about Ave feet, when it opened
into natural chamber about twelve feet
high and six by eight in the bottom. At
last the retreat of the ghost was found.
A search was then Instituted and a mot
promiscuous collection of ghostly para
phernalia came to light. First they saw
small oil stove on which was boiling q
pot of herbs. BY the side of the stow
was large paper of brimstone--in fact
birthstone was scattered over everything.
Some had evidently been on the stove as
Hutchinson said the place smelled like
the internal regions itself. A package of
phosphorus, out of which the piece that
led to the discovery had been taken. was
placed beside the birthstone. And then
they found IN corner lot of sheetinp
several masks, some woman's dresses. an
old pair OF trousers, and two skulls. In
one OF the skulls a stick was fitted.
The officers will get renforcements ana
try to capture the miscreant in his den.
1t is almost certain that it is some half
demented person who has been doing
some odd jobs about town.
